Are you ever ready for someone that focuses on the negative of life? Seriously. It's a challenge to spend much time with an individual stuck on what's wrong, unable to see what's working. I don't know all the reasons an individual allows the negative to become all-consuming, but I do know it comes from a place of hurt. Eventually a negative individual is unable to see there's more to life than the negative. The day is definitely impacted by the individual who lives in the negative places of life.
Consider the Message:
It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone (Ephesians 1:1-12, The Message).
Christ transforms our story, changing our daily legacy from negative to the supernatural good and great of life. It's a process to step away from living in the negative of life and to live new each day, but we're given the supernatural gift to see the day as a new beginning and the ability to purposefully give up negative thoughts, intentionally keeping quiet rather than complaining, learning to build others up rather than to destroy with negativity, focusing on the message of Christ as our daily legacy.
Purposefully see the day as a marker of becoming new.
Give up the negativity.
Make your daily legacy to be the message of Christ in you.

The thing is . . . negativity is contagious . . . and the challenges of life make anyone susceptible to it.How we live is how we impact others on a daily basis. Whether, it is intentional or not, we leave a legacy each day. So. Ultimately, the message of our life is our choice, regardless of the negative stuff that's been a part of our personal life.

"This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!!" (2 Corinthians 5: 17, NLT)Start the day fresh. The old is gone, the new has come!
Purposefully see the day as a marker of becoming new.
Give up the negativity.
